Yes, indeed. I said pantries. Plural.  You need a couple different pantries. Daily and long term. This is a photo of my daily go to pantry that is right off my kitchen.  You can see that I need to do my seasonal spring stock up on some items. Now don’t judge! Yes, those are ramen noodle packs. You don’t have to use the chemistry experiment that is the “flavor” packet included with the noodles. The noodles can be added casseroles or other dishes as a pasta. And bonus they are inexpensive. I don’t use them a lot, but I like to have some on the shelf.

These are several long term pantry cookbooks in my library. There are also many canning and preserving guidebooks that have recipes using the home canned items included. Food prices probably will not drop down to the prices from 2 or 3 years ago. Please do yourself a favor and stockup the next time you go to the grocery store.  Even buying just 5 extra cans of food will help.

To all of my Christian readers I wish you a Happy Resurrection Sunday!
